Kamameshi Hatsune
釜めし初音
A long-established Muroto eatery founded in 1950; its signature kamameshi and kinmedai donburi are well liked, and the third-generation owner uses no artificial seasoning.
Founded in 1950 and run by the third generation, this long-established restaurant is near Ryotei Kagetsu around Muroto-tsu Port, and all seating is on tatami. The signature gomoku kamameshi (mixed-ingredient rice cooked in a pot), about 1300–1500 yen, comes with sashimi, soup and chawanmushi, and is popular as a set. It is also a Muroto kinmedai donburi partner, with kinmedai teriyaki and seasonal sashimi over the same bowl, and the fatty sashimi is rich and sweet. Regulars also recommend the Hatsune Set, which comes with a large fried prawn. No artificial seasonings are used. Opening hours are short and there is no regular closing day, so calling ahead is advised.
